Jones held a news conference Saturday to announce his support for the museum. His donation will provide free admission to the museum for children from Operation Breakthrough, which aids those in poverty.

"I want the opportunity to be able to further this great game of baseball that has helped me and countless friends of all races," Jones said. "Whatever happened in Boston was very unfortunate. But I think that it can start a conversation in terms of people need to help police people. Situations like that should not occur."

Earlier this month, Jones said he was taunted with racial slurs at Fenway Park during Baltimore's game against the Boston Red Sox.

Jones said with social media and technology, people are able to see things almost instantly, and he noted that racial division in the nation has made some people more brash.
